In Su Mo's eyes, the potential of Take Over Magic wasn't far off from the Authority of the Campiones.
In fact, in certain aspects—it might even surpass it.
Defeat a monster, take it over, and you gain access to its powers. You could even transform into the monster itself.
Now imagine if the one you defeated wasn't just a monster—but a divine beast.
Wouldn't that mean, through Take Over Magic, you could directly gain the power to transform into a divine beast?
And if one day, he managed to defeat a Heretic God…
And took it over?
Wouldn't that mean he could potentially gain all the powers of a god who defies the laws of the world?
Maybe even go a step further…
If his counterpart in the Ultraman Tiga world managed to defeat a kaiju and use Take Over Magic…
Would that mean he could transform into a kaiju too?
Could he even become Gatanothor?
—Wait. Su Mo… is actually Tiga?
—No! Su Mo… is actually Gatanothor?!
The thought was unexpectedly thrilling.
Of course, it likely wouldn't be that easy. Take Over Magic had its limits, after all.
But no matter how you looked at it, the potential of this magic was terrifying.
In the original Fairy Tail story, Mirajane had once taken over the power of a God of Time using this very magic.
That alone was proof enough that its upper limit was sky-high.
And there was more.
Take Over Magic wasn't limited to absorbing living beings.
In canon, Elfman once transformed his own hand into an Iron Claw.
Which meant… as long as the user understood the structure and material, Take Over Magic could transform their body accordingly.
If that was truly the case—
What if he encountered something like Adamantium? Or even one of the ultra-dense "Droplets" from The Three-Body Problem, made of strong interaction force materials?
Couldn't he just turn his entire body into an indestructible defense?
Thinking like this… the possibilities of Take Over Magic were endless.
The more Su Mo thought about it, the more eager he became to start training.
Just as he was about to ask Mirajane to begin their practice session—
He overheard a conversation coming from within the Fairy Tail guild hall.
"Hey, I heard Natsu ran off again—something about a fire dragon sighting."
"You think it could be Igneel? The one he's always been looking for?"
"Come on, even if there was a fire dragon, there's no way it'd just show up at a port where anyone could see it."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. But that was the intel we got."
"…Well, that's weird."
Su Mo overheard their chatter—then noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
At some point, Gray had taken off his shirt again.
And if memory served, Erza had just accepted a mission to eliminate some kind of monster.
That's when it hit him.
He knew exactly what day it was.
If he wasn't mistaken… today marked the very beginning of the Fairy Tail story.
The day Lucy Heartfilia would first arrive at Fairy Tail.
And with that realization, Su Mo stood up.
"What's wrong?" Mirajane tilted her head adorably, gazing at him.
"I'm heading out for a bit," Su Mo said with a smile. "The gears of fate are starting to turn—and there's someone out there pretending to be from Fairy Tail. Time to teach him a lesson."
Since crossing over to this world, Su Mo had been living in the Fairy Tail guild.
His bond with the guild ran deep.
And in this world, impersonating a guild member and tarnishing a guild's name was one of the most unforgivable acts.
Even the Dark Guilds wouldn't stoop so low.
And this fraud… he wasn't just an impersonator. He was a human trafficker—a slaver.
In his past life, there was a saying: Human traffickers deserve extinction. Death is too good for them.
Su Mo remembered that clearly.
There was no way he was going to let this man off easy like in the original story—handed over to the Magic Council for a light sentence.
A man like that, getting out in under a year and claiming to have "turned over a new leaf"?
Ridiculous.
The Magic Council's justice system was nothing but a paper tiger.
Weak. Useless.
No—this man needed to learn what real punishment felt like.
"He's impersonating our guild?" Mirajane frowned for the first time in a long while.
The crime was too vile.
"He definitely needs a good beating."
Even someone as gentle and kind as Mirajane couldn't help but say it.
"Of course," Su Mo nodded.
He casually slapped Gray across the back of the head, knocking him unconscious—just in case he started stripping again while Su Mo was gone.
Then, in a flash of light, Su Mo vanished into the distance.
After he left, the guild members slowly realized what had happened.
Why had Su Mo left so suddenly?
They all shivered involuntarily.
Then came the looks of pity.
Whoever had crossed Su Mo today… was about to regret being born.
This tyrant's destructive power wasn't far off from Gildarts himself.
They silently prayed the guy survived.
